How about making it it optional on the command-line rather than through
configuration?  Then you don't lose the functionality where you can
initiate a reply to all visible From/To/Cc addresses (ready for pruning),
regardless of the value of some header you probably don't even see, even
if typically you *do* want to respect that header.

(Bringing us back to the three reply functions.)
